I had the pleasure of eating lunch today at the Back to Nature Bistro. It's the cutest little restaurant down the street from Pendleton King Park. The property also features 3 acres with walking trails, campgrounds, event venue, tea house, petting zoo, and more! I had such a great experience today that I insisted we go back tomorrow for our family Sunday lunch. I had a turkey salad sandwich, beefy French onion soup, and a side salad. I paired it with a butterfly lemonade. If you scroll, you can see the video where I pour tea into the lemonade and it changes from blue to purple. Noelle had a pimento cheese, tomato bell pepper soup, & a side salad. She paired it with drip coffee. She said it was delicious! I'd certainly go back for the beefy French onion soup! If you're ever in Augusta, check them out if you get the chance. I plan to go back again and again. 💕

Does anyone know how to remove a logo from a ceramic mug? @OceanSlim brought these cute mugs home from work , but I could do without the logo. 😉

📚🐦 Our First Storytime & Craft 🐦📚 Our co-op wanted to meet more than once a week so we implemented a biweekly story time and craft. Ms. Amber read a story, we played a name game using a pumpkin, & made a bird feeder craft using cardboard, peanut butter, & birdseed. I personally enjoyed leading the craft and creating an "exemplar" to guide everyone through the steps. ♥️

Here's your friendly reminder to shop your freezer before buying groceries 🥶🧊

📚🍂🎃 We enjoyed another storytime event at Child Enrichment. 🎃🍂📚 We read a book, painted ceramic pumpkins, went on a leaf hunt, and played with a parachute.

This adrenal cocktail recipe + the juice of 1 lemon is 👌

🍅🌿🧄🧅🍅🌿🧄🧅🍅 The cool temps this morning inspired me to make grilled cheese & tomato basil soup for lunch. I've never made it before, but we had the ingredients lying around so I figured why not try it out. I can't wait to run my immersion blender through this in about an hour. 😋 @OceanSlim can taste test for us 😉

When my calendar is clear for that day, I find something to do. Vegetable chicken stock it is.
